Define confronted.

To my knowledge, it is not illegal to follow a suspicious person in your neighborhood while on the phone with 911. How did George know Trayvon was unarmed? For all we know he is telling the truth and was getting an address to tell the police where he was.

Granted maybe he shouldn't have gotten out of his vehicle but that gives Trayvon the right to beat his head into the concrete?

IF you understand the word "confront" please show me proof that Zimmerman "confronted" Martin. In the phone recording Zimmerman said he didn't want to give his home address because he "Didn't know where he (Martin) was" How do you "confront" someone if you don't know where he is? However Martin knew where Zimmerman was. Seems as though Martin was the one in a position to initiate a "confrontation".

Your comment would have been entirely plausible two days after the case hit the headlines. The investigation items released since then are negating much of the PRO-Trayvon aspects of the case. Perhaps the prosecution case may recover; right now, I think the prosecution will be lucky to get even an INvolunary manslaughter verdict.

Seems to me, all of us are missing hard evidence of who was confronted, who initiated conversation, and who initiated violence under what conditions. If GZ drew his gun before the first punch, that would be significant. If he drew it after he sustained head injuries from a guy that didn't act like he was going to stop, that's an entirely different story.

The situation is what it is. I hope the right thing happens. If GZ is innocent, he's going to have a hard time supporting his family. I hope he sues the nuts off of the "news" outlets that edited the 911 tape in an obviously malicious way.

If he's guilty, he should be in prison.

So... the shooter is now qualified to do a drug assessment... by sight only... while following the BMW... but with no verbal interaction, etc.? Really? Or... rather... the shooter makes his own assumption based on his own (dare anyone say it) prejudice? Which is it? The shooter would have to be a very skilled informed person to make such a carefully distinction based on nothing more than having seen a BMW w/ candy and a cold drink. Perhaps it was the sweatshirt that was the clue.

Zimmerman is also not a psychic. It would be reasonable to assume that if he knew then what he knows now, he would have stayed in his vehicle. Hindsight is 20/20. If he was trying to get an address, that's a benign decision at that moment. If he left the vehicle with the intent to track down and shoot the young man, that would be different, but I haven't seen, read or heard anything that supports that assumption,other than what was assumed by some uninformed nincompoops is the media and proffessional race baiters.

IIRC, while working for another company we did drug testing. We had basically two reports sent to the managers; one indicated a previous use and the other showed a recent use with lingering influence. The latter were usually suspended, since they were at work under the influence. It would be interesting to know more details about the level discovered in the blood; or a doctor (not an interweb grageate) provide a little more insight.

Most people probably haven't paid much attention to it because it was the Martin Family that first reported Trevon's height as 6'3". Typically you'd expect family to have an accurate idea of a physical description. It just goes to show you how inaccuracies take on a life of their own though.

The report listed the height and weight of every person, including the 911 callers. The only person whose size is not noted is Zimmerman. At 5-foot-9, Zimmerman was much shorter but heavier than Trayvon. The report listed Trayvon at 6 foot and 160 pounds, though his family said he was actually 6-foot-3 and weighed at most 150 pounds.

It's gonna be a mess when the shooter is cleared in a self defense shooting.

Just reading this thread alone points to the unreasoned outrage to come.

Very true and I think by the end of this even "Special Prosecutor" Corey will be out of tricks and will ultimately be the one with her pants down, so to speak. It'll be interesting to see if she has a career after this, given the possibility that the entire thing will get tossed by a judge before it ever goes to trial. Everybody loves a ballsy prosecutor, but nobody loves a reckless prosecutor.

She, from what I know of her, is known for her sometimes over vigilant prosecution and while I'm normally behind anyone who is tough on crime, she sometimes seems to take a dubious view on who the victim is.

I can't believe that no one has brought up the fact the teen had a watermelon flavored tea, amiright? Might as well have bought some chicken there, too.

Ok, I'll bite. What do you mean 'returning to your vehicle'? Is that what Zimmerman did? And then then teen that was previously being stalked/chased came up to Z's car and pulled him from it? Then attacked Z? Is that how it all went down? There are some crime-scene photos you might check out...

Seems as though someone is preoccupied with race.

Oh, and likes to create colorful new meanings to words an phrases like, "Initiate" and "fights back"

So let me get this straight, in your world if you don't like what some one is doing, even though they are doing nothing illegal, you can physically assault them and claim you are "fighting back" ? nice world you live in.

No, not quite. The metabolites of THC remain in the body for 30 days. THC is generally metabolized within a few hours. If it really was THC that was found in his body, then he was actively 'high' at the time of the altercation.The media reported that the autopsy found THC. Wanna bet the autopsy found THC-COOH-glucuronide (and other metabolites) instead? Do you think the media can be bothered with details like that?

Anybody wanna bet that the levels of THC metabolites won't even be entered into evidence at the trial? Not because of bias, but because neither side would benefit from that evidence.

THC metabolites maybe, but no intoxicating (read: evidentially (SP?)) significant levels of THC.

1.5 nL/mg. is what they found in the chest blood.
300 nL/mg is typically found after smoking, and 10 n/L can be found 3-4 hours after smoking.

Most people probably haven't paid much attention to it because it was the Martin Family that first reported Trevon's height as 6'3". Typically you'd expect family to have an accurate idea of a physical description. It just goes to show you how inaccuracies take on a life of their own though.

What? This is unbelievable. The Trayvon family gave false information ? :upeyes: Most families don't measure their star football players on high heels. (I suppose we won't know about one's real birth certificate for awhile.)

It might surprise you that Trayvon was the one "standing his ground" and his attacker pulled out his "upper hand" as he was now losing the fight.

The whole thing stinks, but was instigated by the overzealous neighborhood watch guru.

C'mon why don't you just tell us "there was a klansman on the grassy knoll with a sniper pistol and it was all planned with the help of the mob and the shooter escaped to Area 51"?

So that's what happened? Z returned to his car/truck at the request of the dispatcher and the deceased came around to remedy a beating to him (Z)? Seems highly unlikely that Martin would have been killed in the location that he was. That's why I roundly doubt it.

Uhm yes, Zimmerman is bi-racial himself so he must be a bigot, and yes his former business partner and friend was Black so there is more proof. Are you sure you aren't confusing the statements of politicians ("hunted down like a dog") and twisted media editing of the phone call (He's Black) with reality. according to the unedited call Zimmerman wasn't even sure, initially, if Martin was Black.

Given that the girl Martin was on the phone with said that Martin went looking for Zimmerman, I would say that the you might just be doubting your own description of what actually happened.

Maybe if they got a picture of him next to that measuring tape they have stuck to the inside of the doorframe at stop-n-robs, we'd have something...

Here's some clues for reading the pictures:

Tiles at 7-11's floors are 12" squares (They don't use larger tile at this location). Top of doors to the refrigerators are 6' from the floor (Standard equipment). Top of counter, where he paid, is 3' from the floor. Notice his hoodie's lowest part actually above the counter when he stood next to it.

Clerk's name is Hector Gonzalez. He stands 5'6".

You are technically correct but we both know the media isn't going to dissect the nuances of THC metabolites. Most media articles are written at a 6th grade reading level on purpose, due to the ignorance of the general public. When someone hears "THC" in the system, it means someone has been smoking weed. Whether he was high at the time or had metabolites in his system is speculation.

So based on your 'hypothetical', are you suggesting that GZ attacked TM's knuckles with only head strikes, including the famed reverse head butt or maybe GZ shot him first and TM did all that damage to GZ's face post GSW. Either way, it's an interesting viewpoint, even if there isn't any physical evidence to back it up.

There you go again. Was it a murder*? Or was it a justifiable shoot in self defense? I don't know and have never made claims that I do. For all I know they both could have been the aggressor at certain points of this altercation. It is possible that there are no good guys in this situation.

Well, all the reports come from the media (for now) but seeing is believing. I'm sure someone with your interest in the case has already seen the scene photos.

Did you notice in the store, he kept supporting himself with his hips against the counter?

He seems unsteady. I didn't really consider THC as a contributing factor, but now would like to know whether the level detected was indicative of recent use (a week or so), or current intoxication.

If Trayvon was impaired by drugs at the time of the shooting, it is a factor.

Still, the most important fact, is who initiated conversation, and who initiated physical contact, and why.

There are still crucial facts that are not known.

Not anything to do with this case, but if Zimmerman had pulled the trigger six times, does that make a difference or not. It would be AWESOME to get Masaad Ayoob's opinion on this case.

If he had been high on crack, or coke, or meth, or booze it might be a factor. Anyone that thinks because he had smoked some pot recently actually made a difference in what happened, has never smoked pot. I have but have not in a very long time. Could not keep my job otherwise. MJ does not cause folks to attack other people. The effects tend to cause those under the influence to avoid confrontation and eat snack foods. Ask any officer of the law if they would rather deal with a suspect stoned to the bone or drunk as a skunk? When intoxication is the only crime, stoners are an easy arrest. Drunks not so much.

That said from everything that has come to light so far I think GZ was in the right. As evidence comes out my opinion may change.

4TS&W

05-19-2012, 02:38

In order for us to believe Rusty's assertion that GZ was initiating the conflict, we have to believe he is lying about how the fight started.

Even if he is lying about how it started, the charge of Murder 2nd degree seems like one hell of a stretch, as that implies he meant to kill TM. If he is telling the truth, given the laws of Florida, manslaughter seems like a stretch. Trying to *PROVE* he is lying is going to be really tough.

In order to be convicted, he will need to be proven guilty. I doubt the evidence is ever going to show anything more than GZ getting his ass kicked by TM, and TM getting an internal 9mm souvineer for his efforts.

None of the witnesses can credibly say they saw anything before TM was on top wailing on GZ, and at that point, GZ seems legally justified in ending the assault by deadly force. That only leaves one side of the story.

His history seems to indicate he was tired of the robberies in the neighborhood (neighborhood watch, many previous phone calls), but was not racist against blacks, per se, because his own heritage is part black, and his history of tutoring blacks, standing against law enforcement when he felt a black was wronged.

The prosecution really bit off more than they can chew on this one. Any verdict from this trial is not going to be believed by a whole lot of people. A guilty verdict will look like pandering to the black community, and a successful witch hunt (to GZ's backers). An innocent verdict will be decried as racist against blacks, and a failure of the justice system for blacks (to TM''s backers).

Some of this will leave much of what has been argued to be moot and/or invalid.

Actually, according to your own CNN reference that you cite, she said ""I could hear it a little bit, 'Get off, get off,' then the phone just hung up," the girl said."

According to this source, she didn't say whether it was TM's voice saying "Get off" or whether it was the "old man's" voice. Maybe she has said in her statement to the police which one she thought it was, but that's not what was reported. Maybe she will say when she testifies at the trial, I don't know, however, she will be considered a hostile witness for the defense. Maybe she will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Maybe she won't. Maybe she will tell things the way she honestly remembers them, and that may or may not be 100% correct either.

Just like everybody else, you have already determined the outcome of how the trial should end, even if you think you are being 100% honest and weighing all the evidence as you know it so far. I admit to the same bias, but I think my conclusions so far are different than yours.

I once sat on a jury in a civil case. At jury selection, they specifically asked if anyone in the jury pool could not find in favor of an insurance company, for any reason or because of any previous experiences. After deliberations, it was 10-2 in favor of the insurance company. One of 2 opposing jurors stated at the end of deliberations that there was no way she could find in favor of the insurance company, regardless of what the evidence said. :dunno:

People serving on a jury may think they can pass judgement based solely on the evidence, with no bias, no preconceived or prejudged opinions, but that is almost always false. They may tell you that, they may even believe that, but it is undeniably false. The people who can hear all the evidence and make a decision solely on that evidence without letting their own preconceived notions/bias influence their decision are a small percentage of the populace. Just as in your mind, you assumed after reading the CNN article, that the girl on the phone said it was TM saying "Get off. Get off." An understandable mistake, but you allowed your own preconceived notion to taint the facts.

Trayvon's parents did not do him any favors when they purged his facebook page to avoid "inconvenience" ... or "embarrassment". Zimmerman's various legal funds now have enough money to support a first-class "rebuilding" effort funded by the defense. Based on what has been released so far, that restored facebook page will not be complimentary to the late Trayvon.

Trayvon's parents did not do him any favors when they purged his facebook page to avoid "inconvenience" ... or "embarrassment". Zimmerman's various legal funds now have enough money to support a first-class "rebuilding" effort funded by the defense. Based on what has been released so far, that restored facebook page will not be complimentary to the late Trayvon.

Yo... true dat, true dat.

A detail from the post-incident events: Trayvon had NO identification on him that night. The police did not get him identified and notify the family until sometime during the next day. So that girlfriend did not know Trayvon was "out of the picture" until almost a day had passed.
